CNN: This is the woman behind Siri’s voice

There’s long been speculation as to whom the voice of Siri, Apple’s personal assistant in iOS devices, belong to, but today, CNN reporter Jessica Ravitz says she knows who it is.

In her piece, “I am the original voice of Siri,” Ravitz describes how while reporting a story about an airport in Atlanta, she stumbled upon Susan Bennett, a voice-over actor who says she recorded the original voice of Siri in 2005 for a company called ScanSoft. Bennett said she didn’t know what her recordings were going to be used for, and was surprised herself when a friend emailed her to ask if she was Siri.
